[j'field]

Hi! Can anyone kindly help me before my naso tang die of starvation! I buy the naso tang for 3 days already but it is not eating at all. But the naso seems to swim round my tank and it looks okie but it just doesn't eat. I have try feeding seaweed,pellet food and also mysis shrimp.But none seems to interest that fellow and is getting skinnier. It has no white spot or no parasite seen on the body.

So can anyone kind enough, let me noe what can i do to make this fellow eat!

Thanks!

To date, red bamboo and dried seaweed tied to a piece of rock works for me fine. It will take a while for the fish to eat but it will eventually. With the above mentioned, the fish will start to nibble after a day the most.

Hope that it is not cynide caught.

Good luck
